Maths Week Ireland will take place from the 15th – 23rd October 2016 (see www.mathsweek.ie for a list of activities nationwide)  In St. Gabriel’s we always enjoy an active Maths Week each year and look forward to this event for months.   Most importantly, each child from Junior Infants to Sixth Class gets involved in the various activities.

Our whole school Maths Games event will take place this year on Tuesday 18th October at 9am  in the P.E. Hall.  As every class is involved in this one event, we need our parents to come along and help out with the fun and games!  If you are free to be a part of this fantastic event, please come along next Tuesday morning for a really enjoyable morning.

A big thank you to all of the Junior and Senior Infant parents who attended Anna’s Jolly Phonics workshop on Tuesday. We hope this workshop will help you to help your child more at home with learning phonics.

We also recommend using the Jolly Phonics app at home. This can easily be downloaded on your smart phone or tablet.

Don’t forget the next workshop for parents is next Tuesday, 11th October at 9am.

This workshop will introduce parents to the Help My Kid Learn website, and some great activities you can use with your children both at home and out and about.
